OnePlus has announced a new feature for its smartphones called “Optimized Charging”.
How it works
The new option is designed to extend service lifebatteries that “wear out” over time. And this goal is achieved by limiting the time that a fully charged battery spends on charging.
To put it simply, we all leave our smartphones.at night on charge, and sometimes during the day we forget that the gadget is connected to the outlet. As a result, a battery with a 100% charge spends several hours near the wire, and this is what has the greatest impact on its “life.”
But OnePlus has developed a system that willSlow down charging when the battery is 80% charged so that the battery reaches 100% just by the time the user removes the smartphone from charging. To do this, the system needs to analyze the calendar, alarm clock, etc.
For example, the owner of the gadget wakes up for workat 7:00, and puts it on charge at 22:00. When the charge reaches 80%, charging will automatically slow down. The smartphone will be fully charged just before 7 am.
In the future, OnePlus hopes to improve its predictions by taking into account weekend wake-up times and even jet lag.
When and where will it appear?
Users will be able to disable the feature in the settings. It will also be possible to cancel the gentle mode while charging.
The OnePlus announcement does not indicate exactly when thisthe feature will appear and on which phones it will be available. But the smart charging option is already being tested in the beta version of the Oxygen OS Open Beta 7 firmware on OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro smartphones.
By the way, the same function is already available on Apple (iOS 13) and ASUS smartphones.
